Panchang in Myjava, Trenčín Region, Slovakia Sat 28 Jun 1930

Rath Yatra follows the tithi at sunrise. Dwitiya runs from 11:22 on Fri 27 Jun to 07:51 on Sat 28 Jun, so it holds sunrise only on Sat 28 Jun, at 03:48. No text giving Rath Yatra’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Rath Yatra: every date in Myjava

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 12°–24° is the 2nd, Shukla Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 03:48 here. Pratipada ended at 11:22 Fri, before it. Dwitiya ends at 07:51, when the lead reaches 24°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 26 Jun, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Fri 27 Jun ran from sunset 19:56 Fri to sunrise 03:48, 7 h 52 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 31 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 03:48 to 19:56, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 2 h 1 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:56 to 03:48 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 59 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Pushya spans 93°20′–106°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 93°20′. It leaves at 23:22, for Ashlesha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 72.8° + 94.4° = 167.2°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 160°00′–173°20′ is the 13th, Vyaghata. It ends at 12:58, then Harshana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava ended at 21:37 Fri, when the lead reached 18°; Kaulava runs until 07:51.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 03:48 to 03:48 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

An amanta month runs from new moon to new moon and takes its name from the rashi the Sun is in at the new moon that begins it: Mithuna gives Ashadha. The Sun enters Karka on 16 Jul, inside the month. The next new moon, 25 Jul, finds it in Karka and begins Shravana.

A purnimanta month runs from full moon to full moon, so its waning half comes first. It shares its name with the amanta month that its second half falls in: the new moon of 26 Jun, with the Sun in Mithuna, began Ashadha. This Shukla paksha reads Ashadha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 30 Mar 1930, 06:46 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 86.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1987; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1852.
